Are you going to change my mind, hell no. Realize that some people don't think like you, probably yes. Need to jump in on someone when their opinion is dark, hell yes you do. If you like women as friends, then go right ahead. Very last sentence was to make them go away. Now here is the part where I bow out. Even though it may not be graceful, some views are dark, if you can't handle it, you better stay in the light.
no, on the flip side I'd say [b/]you[/b] can't handle people challenging your veiws, you throw a tantrum if somone comes along and questions you "THIS IS JUST WHAT I THINK SO SCREW YOU!!"
I'm not trying to change your mind, I'm just pointing out what seems kinda rediculous, from the little I can gather (we are online after all) I see some....issues...to say the least you say you not anti women? pffft..bullshit, I'm calling you out
[quote/] don't know what you would consider to be 100% great conversation, but I am guessing it involves pointless bullshit as well.
or [i/]"go away! your being mean!..you suck![/i]
if you want to know I consider a great conversation anything remotly interesting...
Look out, badass over here.Shawn MacDonald said:Consider you to be ignored, another pointless human being.
It's probably because you haven't met "the one" yet. That one special chick that will wow the crap out of you and motivate you to moving forward with her. Trust me it'll take some time, but if you're that worried, go out on a date with a single chick you meet and see what happens. It's all about that mutual feeling, from what i can tell it'll be real easy for you to discern which chick you can call a friend and which one you'll try to lure into bed with promises of snacks and pulling outImBigBob said:I don't know any girls that I could honestly call a close friend. Not for a lack of socialization - I go out plenty of times, and I make new guy friends all the time. But when going to more nerd-centered meetups, it swings hard on the male side of things, and generally any females there already have boyfriends.
And...that's the problem. I'm a single guy. If I meet a girl who is cute, interesting, and likes the same dorky things I do, why wouldn't I be attracted to her? But if she has a boyfriend, then I don't want to be that "nice guy" that hangs around her all the time hoping she'll come over to me. As a result, I spend more time talking to guys, just because I know it'll be less awkward for me.
It's not like I shun girls. If a friend has a girlfriend, I'll treat her just like one of the guys. But I never seem to have meaningful interactions with members of the opposite sex. Is this mentality halting chances of meeting girls, or is it helping me avoid harsher problems?

oh.. I am nought but a women! your dark brooding awsomeness is just too much for my feeble feminine mind to handle, he who walks in the shadows!

Try a gay guy if you can find one, we love emotional talk.Mr Cwtchy said:I'm 19 and I have yet to make a real female friend. It's a shame, as I think having a friend I could talk about emotional... stuff with would be rather beneficial to me.
This. The man speaks sense.Powereaver said:My current best friend is a girl and EVERYONE thinks we are a couple but we are only friends and have determined this from early on in the friendship which is 100% with me. You really need to start accepting women into your life as just friends and not just a future partners because in the end after a few years a friend might turn into something more.. but id say get all the awkwardness out of the way early on and determine where you want it to go in the future.
I don't think that's necessarily a reason to avoid them. I'm bi so I view pretty much *all* of my friends as a potential partner at first to some extent, but with most of them, if they're taken (or, as is often the case for me, simply don't fancy your gender) you just automatically over time accept that the relationship is utterly platonic.ImBigBob said:If I meet a girl who is cute, interesting, and likes the same dorky things I do, why wouldn't I be attracted to her?
Ignoring the misogyny elsewhere in the thread, I see the point of the OP. And I think being attracted to a female friend is perfectly fine. Don't get all emo about and ***** that she doesn't like you that way. Maybe if it becomes a problem, explain why and end the friendship. She'll get by. Look at it this way: the odds of her suddenly finding you attractive and "boyfriend material" are just as low/high as her doing the same thing. Don't go into a friend relationship expecting anything but what is on the face of it, but likewise, don't arbitrarily limit yourself because you think you'll get hurt. You'll turn into a social mutant like myself without any significant relationships with anybody on any level. And chances are, a female friend has other female friends who might be interested in you in that way. Networking, etc.ImBigBob said:And...that's the problem. I'm a single guy.

lisadagz said:This, Ive found that girls are just about the best wingmen ever! Also another good thing about having friends who are girls are that they rarely talk about boring stuff like sports or cars!ImBigBob said:Also, you know what taken girls have? Friends. Female friends. SINGLE female friends. You make friends with taken girls, you've got a better chance of being introduced to single girls.
Well isn't this about female friends?ImBigBob said:Oddly enough, I actually have multiple gay friends that I'm completely comfortable around. I've never been worried that they might be attracted to me. I guess there's a lesson in that.
The "friend zone" thing is something that plays a role in my behavior. It's been said repeatedly, everywhere I've seen, that if you like a girl, it's best to let her know quickly, because otherwise you'll be stuck as a "friend". I also don't want to be that guy who listens to girls complain about relationship issues while being single myself. If I ask a girl out and she says no, then complains on Facebook the same day about not being able to meet a nice guy, I'm unfriending her instantly.
